What do homes have to do with climate change? Everything. From Heiltsuk Nation’s vision for resilient housing to efforts to retrofit aging apartment blocks in Vancouver, communities across British Columbia are thinking about — and building for — the future of our warming world. Join The Narwhal for a free Zoom event for more insights from Habitat, our recent series on housing and climate, featuring B.C. reporters Steph Kwetásel’wet Wood and Shannon Waters. Michelle Cyca, bureau chief for conservation and fellowships, will moderate the conversation. The online panel discussion will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 16, at 12 p.m. PT / 1 p.m. MT / 3 p.m. ET. Spaces are limited, so be sure to RSVP today to guarantee your virtual seat! If you already have a question in mind for the panellists, you can send it our way when you register. Closed captioning will be available. This event is made possible with support from the Real Estate Foundation of BC. As per The Narwhal’s editorial independence policy, no foundation or outside organization has editorial input into our work.
